MOTOR.

SPECIFICATION for'r'ning part of Letters Paten-t No. 272,429, datedFebruary 20, 1883.

Application tiled May 4,1882. (N o model.)

To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that I, HENRY W. GIIRNEY, a citizen ot' the United States ofAmerica, residing at East Nodaway, in the county of Adams and State ofIowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Motors, ofwhich the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to improvements in motors.

nying drawings, in which- Figure l is a top, view or plan of my improvedmotor. Fig. /2'is a side elevation f the same, partly in section on theline a' x of Fig. 1. r

Like parts are referred to byy similar letters,

of reference throughout the several views.

In the said drawings, A A representsastearn engine and boiler,constructed and arranged in a similar manner-to an ordinary portableengine `of any of the well-known styles, and nounted on a suitableframe, B B, supported on the wheels W W WNW.

G is the crank-shaft of theengine, provided with/the customary iiy-wheeland pulley, F, and carrying at or near each end a wheel pr pulley, P,which are connected by belts D D or equivalents to similar wheels, P P',secured on the rear axle, E, on which the wheels W W are looselyplaced.A l

Secured rigidly on the axle E at. any con! venientpoint in its length isa chain or sprocket Y Y wheel, Gr.

His a chain,which is designed to be secu red at each end on oppositesides of a eld or otherwise, and passes under the engine and boiler AA,over a loosely-turningwheel,a,journaled in suitable. bearing on frameB B, from thence under and en gagin g lwith the sprocket or chain wheelG, and. thence up and over aisecond loose wheel, ci', similar to the onea referred t0 above.

The operation is as follows: The chain H,'

passing over the loose wheels a and a and underl the chain-wheel G inthe manner above described, and as shown in Fig. 2 ot' the drawv ings,is attached on opposite sides of a field, or at any points between whichit is desired to draw aI load. The plows, wagons, or whatever is defsired to be drawn is attached to the motor and the engine startedthrough the agency of the pulleys P and P and belts D. The axle E,carrying the chain-wheel Gr, is revolved, and, engaging with the chainH, propels the motor and load, the wheels W W, -as well as those W W',turning loosely on their axles.

Two-or more of the chain-wheels G may be used, if desired, acorresponding number of chains beingprovided.

It isohvous,that the engine may be em ployed as an ordinary portable engine for drawing any kind of machinery by simplyremoving the belts D andapplying a belt to the iiywheel pulley F.`

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is y The combination of the engine A, frame B,crank-shaft C, having {1y-wheel E and-pulleys P P, rear axle, E, havingpulleys P' P and chain or sprocket wheel G, loosely-journaled wheels aa', placed at the front and back ot' said sprocket-wheel, belts D D,chain H, and' HENRY W. GURNEY.
